[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it depends how you are using it.  For your commute?  Than it may be the fastest thing.  Whatever works.

But even for a trip to Disney I would not bring a stroller for my 6 year old.  She weight 50 lbs, I don't want to push her around!!!  So that's us.  My little one is about to turn 4 and I think we'll ditch the stroller next spring for sure.  We rarely use it as is.

Personally I'd go with a single, and let the older one ride when the little one is walking or being carried.  If the 6/7 year old *really* needed it.[/quote]

Such a rational response. We almost never drive so most of the time we are on foot with our daughter, whether it's to the playground or the pediatrician or (someday, hopefully) to school. I will often grab our stroller because while she is old enough to walk everywhere, this is a LOT of walking for a 5 year old. If I bring it and she doesn't use it, I can throw my bag and her school stuff in it and that's something. And if we have to book it to get in an errand on the way home, or if the weather is bad and she wants to be dry or out of the wind, or if she's just had a very busy day and wants a quick ride, I'm so grateful to have it.

I could easily see doing this next year when she is 6.

Should I post a thread titled "Age to stop driving children around in cars... is 6 normal??"[/quote]
